beyond the square portionas shown in Figs. 16, 17 and 18. The hole or chamber 117 has ent-ered thereinto an v annular wall or ring 122, `between which and the end of the sleeve or neck 120 is a packing 123, and on the upperside-o1l which is a packing 124, forming a seal .on each side of the' wall or ring 122 against the escape of liquid and Hcssure. l l

4Thel under side of the plug 118 has therein a chamber with which c'onnnunicates a tube 126, the lower end of which is threaded into the plug and the upper' end of whichextends above the liquid in the filling ttnk.- The upper end ot' the tu'be 121i has a chamber 127. with a valve seat al its bottoni which coaets with a valve 128 on a rod 12S) extending down through the tube |213 and fixedly entered at its lower end into a eap 1310. whieh,in connection with an annular rim or wall lill. constitutes a piston valve operating in the ehaiulwr 117 above the packing 125, which Valve serves as il` eul oil' lor the iow of liquid into `the filling tube from ilie filling tank. A tube 132, at its upper end is entered into the cap or lic-.xd 13() for eounnunication with the chamber 125. and this tube extends downwardly and its lower end 133 is turned and passes through the tapered end 1311 o1' a slidable tube. 135, operating in the plug or neel: 120, and the wall or neck 122, which tube 135 forms the upper section of the lilling tube.

The upper section of the iilliug tube, adjacent tb its 01), has therein an opening or port 1.216, in eo'nununi- 'cation with the chamber 117, when the piston valve of the filling tube is raised, as shown in Fig. 1S. tube 137 is entered into the head 114, so` as to stand at an inclination, and this tube 137, at its outer end, carries a hood 131e' downwardly extending. 'The tube-137 has a palssage 139, furnishing` connuunieation between the chamber 117 and a passage 14() in the hood, and the hood has a lower chamber 111|, lwMVeenwliich and the chamber 140 is a valve seat 142, with which concis a ball valve 1113, located and operating in the chamber 14-1, and held in the chamber by a -cross rod 144 or otherwise, so as to .leave a free opening at the mouth of the hood for liquid to enter the tube 13,7, when the.

ba'll valve is down, as shown in Fig. 11S, and flow into the chamber 117 to pass through the port 136 into tho The descent of upper section 135 of the filling tube. the piston valve at the top of the upper section o1 the filling tube to the position shown in Fig. 17, closes the inlowof liquid through the tube y137. and causesv the pressure of the liquid to raise the ball valve 143 into the position shown in Fig, 17, closing the adniissiouor passage of liquid from the filling tank into the iilling tube.,Y It will be understood that when the ball valve 143 is dropped, as shown in Fig. 18, the liquid: is free toflofw from the filling tank into the filling tube, and when` the ball valve 143 is raised, as shown inFig. 17,

the admission of liquid to the tube 137 and tothe filling tubelis ,cfiectually closed.

I' A closing head or cap 145 is tlxredded onto the lower end bf the upper section of the filling tubefand this head1y or cap has on its upper onda iiange 146, between which. and the iiangc ol' the head 121 a coil spring 147 is located, whichspring serves to4 hold the closing 'liosdl piston valve 'on the upper end 'of` 'said section, closing 'the admission oi liquid into the Iilling tube, as shown'in-l. FigJY/i The closing head or cap 145112153 a chamber'. 14B, into which the lower end of the upper section l of the filling tube extends, so 's' to open tliehlt'or port 133 of the pressure Aconducting tube'j132 into-the chamber. ,The chamber terminates in across rtl/s111149, having a central hole, and the head or cap145 outf; wardly flares for its lower portion, so as tolha've Sa, curved wall 150, with a curved interiorlinto which isy entered the sealing cap. The sealing cap, as shown, lis

made of vulcanized rubber or other suitable material,

and consists of a body or outer portion or wall 151 ands tapered plug 152, with a channel, 153 between the outer wall and the central plug, into vwhich channel is, entered theupper end oi the bottle, se that the central plug -and the outer wall willefiectually seal the bottlef against the escape of pressure and liquid. The lowerl l' section 154 of the filling tube is threaded into the lower end oi the upper section 1.35 offsuch tube, and the lower section has a vent tube 1.55 with. a port or mouth 156`at its upper end opening into the chamber 149, and witl'ray port or mouth 157 at its lower end opening through the wall of the lower section 154 of the filling tube, 'as shown in Figs. 17 and 18. The pressure can flow linto the bottle through the tube 126, tube 132, 'and tube 155, and can escape or vent from the bottle through these same tubes. The'admission of pressure into the bottle, through the tubes 126, 132 and 1.55, takes place with the upward'inovenient of the piston valve on the upper end of the section 135 oi the filling tube, when sol such upward movement has reached the point to re- 10i) lease the valve 128 from its seat, and the pressure can escape or vent from the bottle, so'long as the bottle is in position and the piston valve ,is in its raised position l opening the valve 128, as shown in Fig. 18. Thorelnoval o1' the bottle' from the closing cap or head, allows 10i.;

the spring 147 to act and force down the closingr cap or head, and with it the twosectionsof the filling tube, drawing down the piston valve at the top of the secv tion 135 ot' the filling tube, closing the liquid passage 1.39 and also seating the valve .128,` thus shutting off 110 the iow of liquid and the admission of pressure through the illing tube, as long .as the parts rerrfairr ,inA tlie Ip0`sition shown in Fig. 1.7.

The Haring or outwardly curved lower wall 150.

of the' closingcap or head has, on each side, ears. 158 115 into each of which is entered the upper end o t a rod 159; and the lower end of each rod 159 is entered into an ear 1GO on opposite, sides of a funnel shapedor Haring guide 16.1, and when in place the rods159 are securely held in position by nuts' 162 onl theupper 120 and lower endsoi each rod* The' guide or centering cap 161 has a cross diam'eter's'uljlicient to allow of the passage of the,neclrsoifbottlesfof lvarying sizes and guidejand direct the necks so that'the mouth or upper end' of'each bottle will bb: entered into' the sealing 12 or closing eap, as'shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 13, thus insuring t'heproper und perfect entrance o1 the'. upper und or mouth vof the bottle vinto the sealingvcap for bottles of different sizes, and so that the closing cap will have the plug 152 entered into the mouth off'lli l, p

A float ,163 is limited and operates in the ehamherv 5. 103 ofthe illlinr tank. and is raised and lowered ln' the rise'and fall of the liquid in the tilling tank. This float is attached to the outer or tree end ot a rod or arm 16:1, attached hy a suitable pin or pivot 165- to the ond of a bracket arm or ear ltli. tormed with or attached to a neck or plug It? serew threaded into a head or plug 168. having-a net-k tot) which extends through the wall 102 ofl the tilling tank. The head or plug 16S is held in plat'e hy a loek nut 170 threaded onto the exterior ot' the neek 16S) and a shoulder 171' on the head .or plug so as to have a fixed relation. The neck lttt extends beyond the outer face ofthe Wall 102 of the lilling tank and has therethrough a llongitudinal passage 172, into which is threaded a tube 173 ot a valve 1711. the easing of which has a nipple 175 with a vent passage, which is Controlled by the plug of the valve operated from a handle 175 or otherwise. The passage 172 opens into a eli-amber 177 in the head or plug 168, trom whith eli-amber a port or passage 178 opens into 'the interior /olv the filling tank, through the wall of the head or plug, as shown in Figs. 21 and 22. The passage 172 is eontrolled by a valve plug or head 179 on the inner end of a stein 180, which stem is attaehod hy a pin or pivot. 18] to the lient end 182 ol' the rod or bar 1o4,A so that as the llos-t. 162 ri 3s with the rise ot' the liquid in the tilling tank the valve plug or head 179 will elose the passage. 172 and prevent vei'iting/ ot' the pressure from the interior of the lilliitg tank. and as the float falls, with the tall ol' the liquid in the tilting tank, the valve plug or head 1.71) 'will be withdrawn, opening the passage 172 for the pressure to vent or escape from the interior of the lilling tank. lt will thus he seen that, by ineans of the l'loat and the Controlling valve actuated therefrom, the maintaining of therpressure in the filling tank and the venting of the pressure troni the filling tank, is autonxatieally iilling tunk. i s
